Where this comes from

Profiles start from Wikidata (CC0) and Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0; summaries are short and credited on each page), with portraits only under free Commons licences. Editors review every profile before it is published — living people always.

Net worth and income come from official records (election affidavits, company filings) or recognised rich lists (Forbes, Hurun), each with its year. News-report figures are shown only as marked estimates. We never guess anyone's gender: it is shown only as the person states it.

Reliability 1–5 on each profile is the weakest source behind what the page shows: 5 official record, 4 strong sources (Forbes, major publications), 3 encyclopedic sources, 2 or less weak.

Researchers can download any filtered list as CSV or Excel, or use the read-only JSON API at /api/v1/personalities (structured fields and source links; no biography text). Spot a mistake? Use "Report an error" on the profile.
